What's next, forcing them to wear a yellow Star of David?.....
Barbed-wire fences and security guards are a regular part of many Jewish childrens' school day.
A number of school administrators have come forth in recent days to confirm that they recommend Jewish children should not enrol at their schools.
According to school administrators, law enforcement officials and social workers, the on-going conflict in Gaza has led to heightened tensions between Jews and Arabs - particularly Palestinians - here in Denmark.
And although few headmasters of schools have faced the situation, most of those at schools with a high percentage of children of Arab descent say they try to prevent Jewish parents from enrolling their children there.
On Monday, headmaster Olav Nielsen of Humlehave School in Odense publicly admitted he would refuse Jewish parents' wish to place their child at his school.
The comments were made following an incident last week in which two Israeli citizen's were shot and wounded at a city shopping centre. Police believe the incident was a reaction to the Gaza conflict.
Other headmasters have now come forth to support Nielsen's position, adding that they are putting the child's safety first.

Headmaster Nielsen was then called in by the municipality to explain why he advises Danish-Jews not to (theoretically) come to his public school, which is supposedly open to all Danes.
Also, note he's active in the Danish "boycott Israel" campaign. It's not clear to me why he decided to speak about this issue, specifically when he has no Jews in his school anyhow.

Terrorists/Muslims only use tactics that work, so allowing their threats to successfully isolate Jews and intimidate the Danish government is APPEASEMENT and they will just continue the same tactics of violence. The only thing they understand is force, so any threats should be answered with jail time. Non-citizens should be deported for such acts. Its fucking logic people.
